Festival Travel (Scotland) Ltd has taken full advantage of the first days of summer to have a photo shoot of its recently delivered MAN MOBIpeople Explorer coaches, which were supplied by Preston, Lancashire-based B.A.S.E Coach Sales.

John Campbell, Managing Director of Festival Travel, said: “I have been very impressed with our new purchases, and believe these are the safest school coaches available with class leading legroom for the passengers and good luggage capacity when required.

“The build quality is first rate and having visited the MOBIpeople factory in Coimbra (Portugal) and met the management and workforce, I feel they really listened to our requirements in building a 70-seater fully DDA compliant vehicle for our new school contracts.

“The MAN chassis with ZF EcoLife automatic gearbox adds to the solid feel and smooth ride of these coaches and we have a local MAN dealership on our doorstep for peace of mind.”

Nick Dodgson from B.A.S.E Ltd, added: “We have been delighted with the response from John and many other clients who are placing repeat orders for the MOBIpeople range, it proves that we have the right combination of chassis and body build quality with a price that allows operators to invest for the future.”
